1. You're not going to go back to waiting an hour to send an email to 30 people with 40 photos. attached.

Of course not. I am going to upload them to Picasa or something similar, then email a link to there.

2. How will you remember anybody's birthday?

Um, I will store them in any of a hundred fully functional and free calendar applications that are out there?

3. How will you stalk your college boyfriend's new fiance?

Honestly, I think I can handle life with a little less stalking activity in it. In fact, I think it might be good for me.

4. Without Facebook what are you going to do when you don't have a friend's email address or phone number? Facebook messaging blows. But at least you know you can reach anybody who has a Facebook account.

I happen to have the email addresses of all of my (real) friends. If I wanted to contact someone and I didn't have any contact information for them, I guess I would do what I did before we were friends on Facebook: track it down. Mutual friends? White pages? Come on. I have the email addresses of anybody that I have emailed, has emailed me, or has been cc:d on an email that I have received, in the past few years. I can find them easily in Gmail. Am I supposed to be frightened to death of the possibility of not being able to contact somebody that I used to be "friends" with on Facebook?

5. Forget Facebook. 80 million of you are addicted to Zygna's Facebook game, FarmVille.

Your 80 million addicted figure is disputable. I imagine there are 80 million people with FarmVille accounts, and you decided to label them all addicts.

Being addicted to FarmVille is a reason to leave Facebook, not to stay!

6. It takes 2 seconds to "join" a new site through Facebook Connect. It can take a good 10 minutes doing it the old way. (Care to subscribe to these magazines?)

Actually, no, I don't care to subscribe to those magazines. I already get too much crap in my inbox as it is.

7. How will you hear about parties? How will you remember where and when those parties are? Evite?

I have never once gone to an event that I was invited to on Facebook. How about that? I have gone to multiple events I was invited to on Evite.
